Secure Client Communication for Law Firms
Why it matters for the Quilia app.
Quilia is designed as a secure and privileged method of communication between attorney and client, ensuring all information shared within the app is protected by attorney-client privilege.
Attorney-Client Privilege
As attorneys, it is crucial to understand the concept of attorney-client privilege and how it applies to the communication with clients. This principle is recognized in most legal systems around the world.
Attorney-client privilege protects confidential communications between an attorney and their client from being disclosed to third parties. This protection is essential for maintaining trust and ensuring that clients can freely share information with their attorneys without fear of it being used against them.
Secure Communication
All communications within Quilia are encrypted and secure, ensuring that sensitive information shared between attorneys and clients remains confidential and protected.
Privileged Platform
Quilia is designed specifically as a privileged communication platform, ensuring that all interactions are protected by attorney-client privilege and cannot be accessed by third parties.
Security & Access FAQs
Who can see the information clients submit?
Only your firm. You control access within your team. Nothing is shared with third parties and everything is encrypted.
How does Quilia maintain attorney-client privilege?
We've spoken with multiple discovery commissioners, and they've confirmed that privilege is preserved as long as (1) the client is invited after signing the retainer, and (2) only the law firm has access to the client's info. Quilia checks both boxes—just like email or text communication, it's protected.
Who can invite a client to Quilia?
Only the attorney or their firm can invite a client to use Quilia. This ensures attorney-client privilege starts at the right point—after a retainer is signed—and no outside party is ever involved in the onboarding process.
Who can see the data clients enter?
Only the attorney and their authorized team. Client-submitted data is not visible to doctors, insurance companies, or any third party—keeping everything squarely within attorney-client privilege.
